Top Panthers News

  • Panthers' John Metchie: Takes over return duties

    Metchie is now the No. 1 returner on the Panthers' depth chart, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reported Tuesday.

    The move comes after the Panthers waived wide receiver Jimmy Horn on Tuesday. There is a strong chance Horn clears waivers and joins the team's practice squad to be elevated for return duties in a few contests down the line, but Metchie should still see snaps as a returner even if that comes to pass. The No. 5 wide receiver has never fielded a punt return but averaged 17.1 yards per kick return on seven kickoffs as an Eagle last year.

  • Panthers' Devin Lloyd: Makes 13 tackles

    Lloyd finished with 13 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

    The Panthers' defense did not have a good day, but Lloyd was at least active in his first game with his new team. The former Jaguar signed a three-year, $42-million contract with Carolina in the offseason after recording 81 tackles (35 solo), seven pass breakups, including five interceptions, and a fumble recovery during the 2025 regular season.

  • Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Misses PAT in loss

    Fitzgerald made four of his five PATs and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

    Fitzgerald's 44-yard field goal was his only challenge of the night, and the kicker was up to it. Where the 26-year-old shrunk was in his consistency, with an 80 percent PAT conversion rate that pales in comparison to opposing kicker Cairo Santos' flawless night, despite the latter being asked to kick eight PATs.

  • Panthers' Xavier Legette: Quiet outing Week 1

    Legette failed to haul in either of his targets and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards during Carolina's loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Legette had a quiet outing despite playing 36 of the team's 68 snaps. The 2024 first-round pick will look to be more involved offensively during next week's game against the Falcons but will most likely continue to see the majority of his production come on special teams unless either Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker is forced to miss time.

  • Panthers' AJ Dillon: Gets garbage-time work in loss

    Dillon handled five carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 59-37 loss versus the Bears.

    All of Dillon's touches came during Carolina's last drive of the game, when Chicago was leading by 22 points with less than four minutes remaining and more than content to let the Panthers run out the clock. Chuba Hubbard and 2024 second-rounder Jonathon Brooks project to remain clearly ahead of Dillon for carries going into Week 2.

  • Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Limited offensive output in Week 1

    Evans caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

    Evans was on the field for 27 of the team's 68 offensive snaps while operating as the team's primary reserve option at tight end behind Tommy Tremble. Evans also logged 17 snaps with the special-teams unit, and he will continue to have limited offensive upside in Week 2 against the Falcons.

  • Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Three catches in loss

    Tremble caught three of his five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

    Tremble played 34 offensive snaps, which equated to just under 56 percent of the Panthers' total offensive plays. The tight end also contributed 11 special-teams snaps in the losing effort, showing some versatility in what was a productive offensive day for the Panthers overall.

  • Panthers' Tyrel Dodson: Signed to Carolina's active roster

    The Panthers signed Dodson from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Dodson joined the Panthers' practice squad Sept. 1 after being let go by the Dolphins two days prior. The seventh-year pro is now on the Panthers' 53-man roster and will provide interior depth at linebacker behind starters Devin Lloyd and Bobby Okereke. Dodson logged a career-high 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the Dolphins last year, adding three pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

  • Panthers' Jalen Coker: In walking boot Monday

    Coker is in a walking boot Monday after sustaining a left ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Bears, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

    Coker said he rolled his ankle in the first quarter against Chicago, but he deemed the injury minor and suggested the boot is for precautionary reasons. The second-year wideout expects to play next Sunday against the Falcons. In the Panthers' Week 1 loss to the Bears, Coker paced Carolna in receiving with a monster 8-138-2 line on nine targets. He's emerged as a clear-cut every-down receiver and should be viewed as an upside WR3 in fantasy.
